Signs of a Bad Battery
If your car is slow to start or has trouble starting, you may have a bad battery. If you can start your car utilizing another vehicle with jumper cables, that is a good indication of a weak battery. Your car will wear the battery down, and it should also recharge the battery, which is what makes the system complex. Your car may also have a warning light or a dial, that shows the strength of the charge the battery is putting out. Most modern batteries do not need maintenance and are sealed, but you can still check the water level, which can give you an indication of the battery's health.
Don't Take Chances
Batteries can go bad suddenly, but there are warning signs that you could notice. One way is to watch your dashboard for signs. If the car is harder to start than normal or keeps going dead, that may mean the battery is going dead. In a worst-case scenario, you could find yourself stranded with a car that will not start. At the first sign of trouble, bring your car to us and let us give it a complimentary multi-point inspection, as well as checking out your battery and electrical system. Batteries come with what amounts to an expiration date, and if your battery is beyond that date, it might be a good idea to replace it even if it is working.
